This Twitter photo of a man in a Braves cap setting fire to a Kevin Durant jersey is making the rounds this morning.

Belay that sweeping downgrade of OKC fans from the best in the league. (Though it's worth repeating that Chesapeake Energy has provided tens of thousands of free tickets to keep the place full over the years.) The uniform burner? Never claimed to be a Thunder fan. He's "team Heat." So we can all keep up the OKC fans good, Miami fans bad narrative. Isn't it simpler this way?
